Hearing that tonights 4th edition has been held off awaiting the full detail of the new oxy problems found on OJQ. Apart from the photos that are floating around does anyone have the full details?

No word from hereabouts apart from rumors (passed on by a supervisor) that upon inspection unserviceable parts were found. The previous time they were supposedly inspected and should have been replaced was after the expiry date of those said parts.
As I said only rumors so far, can anyone assist with info ?

Union moves to ground Qantas jets on safety fears
THOUSANDS of passengers could be left stranded or face major delays after a move by aircraft engineers to ground two Qantas 747s because of safety fears.
The Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association will today launch legal action allowing the union to ban the aircraft from flying for up to four weeks.
The association confirmed yesterday that services were expected to be disrupted but said bans were necessary because of the airline's use of cheap overseas maintenance.

SIA Engineering Company has rejected claims by the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association that faulty maintenance on two Qantas 747s was conducted by the Singapore-based engineering company.
In statement issued yesterday, SIAEC said that it "categorically refutes and rejects the unfounded allegations about work at our facilities".

Hi Drpez
The standard of SIAEC engineering is a discrace and I know first hand. QF should be ashamed it is as simple as that. As an ex Qantas apprentice it worries me sick that Qantas's only competitive advantage is its impressive safety record with no hull losses (if we discount the 747-400 in BKK which was somewhat of a sham!).
Interesting times ahead boys, whatever happened to old Bobby Cox from Major Maint ?
